Planning and building control in the Scottish Borders

In Scotland, most fit-out work that alters the building needs a building warrant from the local authority before work starts, followed by a completion certificate. Planning permission and advertisement consent are separate, and Scottish councils publish their own shopfront design guidance.

  • Treatment rooms offering special procedures may need a local authority licence.
  • Hair traps on backwash drainage save costly blockages.
